The doppelgänger, whose real name is Talha Dar, told Cosmopolitan.com, "I really like [Zayn's] style and talent, so I was one of the few who were excited and supportive when he went solo since I believed he had more to offer on his own, and he could do bigger things, which he proved."

Talha might like Zayn, but he's not so keen on the comparisons. "I haven't really associated with anyone who emphasis on the Zayn facotr often because I think they are more interested in Zayn than myself," he said.
